The Steenbras River Gorge and Crystal Pools Hiking Trail in Cape Town is getting a makeover after heavy rains caused damage. It will reopen on November 1, and hikers can start booking then. This delay, while disappointing, shows the city’s commitment to keeping everyone safe and preserving the trail’s beauty. As nature changes, so does our appreciation for it, reminding us to be patient and respectful. When the trail reopens, it will be not just a hike, but a celebration of nature’s resilience and the hard work behind it.
